Support was added around the beginning of last year. There's just one in kernel driver for the ATI Radeon hardware. You just need to follow the wiki instructions for installing the open source driver and you should be good to go. If you want to instead try the proprietary driver, you can follow these instructions.

I think that i am missing something. I already emerged the radeon-ucode package but i still dont see at the kernel menu (make menuconfig...... 'Include in kernel firmware...') all these 'radeon firmwares'??

My recommendation is that you do NOT build the radeon driver into the kernel, and you do NOT build the firmware into the kernel. Just enable all of the kernel options as modules, and then you don't have to build any firmware blobs into the kernel at all. The system will automatically load the appropriate module and firmware when the system boots.

Good Luck..

you mean that i should make like this without adding the corresponding modules to /etc/conf.d/modules?
